The first inspection by consultants from the Torre Annunziata Public Prosecutor's Office will be held in the next few days at the site of the disaster that occurred last Thursday in the Naples area, where a cabin of the cable car connecting Castellammare di Stabia to Monte Faito collapsed, causing four deaths and one serious injury.
The magistrates of the pool formed by the prosecutor Nunzio Fragliasso will support the experts who will be accompanied to the scene of the tragedy by the State Police, the Fire Department and the Alpine rescue men. According to what has been learned, the cabin that fell was still attached to the cable when it fell, so the attention of the investigators will inevitably have to focus on the cable and on the ineffectiveness of the brakes which, unlike the cabin downstream, did not block the vehicle's backward movement.
As is known, prosecutors Giuliano Schioppi and Alessandra Riccio, together with the additional prosecutor Giovanni Cilenti, are currently hypothesizing the crimes of manslaughter and multiple manslaughter, together with manslaughter (for the injured person). In the meantime, there is awaiting the autopsy tests on the victims which, moreover, could also lead to the registration of the first suspects.
Those who lost their lives on April 17 were Janan Suliman, a 25-year-old Israeli-Palestinian pharmacist; Elaine Margaret Winn, a 58-year-old British woman, her husband Derek Winn, 65, and the 59-year-old Eav (cableway operator) driver Carmine Parlato from Vico Equense. In hospital, still in serious condition, is Thabet Suliman, 23, Janan's brother.
